Question

Taylor had friends over to study for their history test. Taylor bought 4/5 of a gallon of coffee for eight friends. How much coffee will each friend receive

Answer 1

Each of Taylor's eight friends will receive 1.6 cups of coffee when the total amount purchased, 4/5 of a gallon, is evenly distributed among them.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student has asked how much coffee each friend will receive if Taylor bought 4/5 of a gallon for eight friends.

To find out how much each friend will get, we need to divide the total amount of coffee by the number of friends:

1. Since there are 16 cups in a gallon, Taylor bought (4/5) * 16 cups of coffee.
2. Calculate the total cups of coffee: (4/5) * 16 = 12.8 cups.
3. Divide the total cups of coffee by the number of friends: 12.8 cups / 8 friends = 1.6 cups per friend.

Therefore, each friend will receive 1.6 cups of coffee.
